Maybe this needs an update to the post.
I am happy. My life is amazing in terms of health, fitness, diet, family life, where I live, travel etc.
But I am also without a driving force. It gives me a new appreciation for the athletes or musician who un-retires.
- locallost 3y agoI apologize, I never wanted to imply somebody I don't know is unhappy, guess it kind of came off wrong. Wish you anyway all the best and thanks for a very clear blog post.
- csdvrx 3y ago> But I am also without a driving force. It gives me a new appreciation for the athletes or musician who un-retires. I have a friend who phrased that very well: the problem is "you're waiting for death" because a life without a "driving force" is just waiting for death, as it will eventually do its part. > I am happy. My life is amazing in terms of health, fitness, diet, family life, where I live, travel etc. Waiting can be happy, but it's still waiting. Also, how things are during the wait will change: fitness and health aren't perfect forever, likewise family members aren't immortals No judgement value is implied: that's what retirees do, and what most people aspire to do, so it shouldn't be so bad. Yet I believe we as human beings need things to do.
- TapWaterBandit 3y agoI don't think it does need an update, it came across quite clearly in the article that you were pretty happy with life in general but felt that selling the company took away a sense of purpose/identity that you hadn't expected. Was a really interesting read and gave me a lot to think about as a (hopefully) future founder!
